and recently

Today: get up at half 6 as my mother works in the laundry department. she arrives at hospital with me at half 7. we d nothing til 8 o'clock. she starts work and i go to check in at the casualty desk as i am suppose to.

around half 8. a nurse comes to see me and asks me question while taking my blood pressure. around 15 minutes later, i escorted to a bed in a ward. my blood pressure is taken yet again and more questiomns asked. something is inserted into my right arm
.
after some time, a doctor comes to see me. he asks me some questions, some are repeated. he insert needle to take a blood sample. a nurse comes . inserts stickers to make a heast graph of my heart.

a person comes with a wheelchair to take me down to the xray department. after waiting for a while, finally my xray is taken.

aboput 10 o'clock, i return to my bed. i am told to wait for the doctor.

around 11:15, i hear a doctor or a nurse say that philip nulty is to be admitted.

about 11:35, i am inspected by another doctor who is with a crowd of doctors. him and the other doctors leaves, promises to back after consulting the xray technicians.

about 10 minutes later, he tells me that the xray shows thatn i had signs of a cold which is now clearing up and that the antibiotics that i was prescribed such clear up the blood in ym coughs. i'm told i can go home after the nurse takes thething placed in my arm earlier out
